noizemagazine - noiZe Magazine Issue 57 August 2008 - Index

Too many times we focus on the negative in our
lives—the DJ playing a song we don’t like, getting
pushed on the dance floor, not meeting anyone at
a party, the long line for the bathroom, or running
into an old flame. It helps to put things into
perspective if you evaluate everything else as well,
and soon you will realize that things are pretty
damn good after all.
This is one of the (many) reasons that for 15 years
and 57 issues, it has always been our goal at noiZe
to cover every person and event positively, using
our experience and proven track record to
promote dance, festival and Circuit events, and the
lifestyle surrounding them.
On that note, let’s take a look at what we have in
store for you in this issue:
City Spotlight: The Big Easy Parties On
New Orleans is back, and with a vengeance. With
multiple events over Labor Day and Halloween,
this Southern belle of a city is back on the map
with some of the best events at a great value.
Promoter Spotlight: Franco Beneduce
San Francisco’s Magnitude event continues to be
one of the shining stars for dark and dirty dance
parties in the city. Learn how Franco took over this
event a few years ago and managed to keep it
fresh and exciting.
Event Spotlight: Mark Nelson’s Great Adventure
Mark Nelson’s New York event mailing list is one of
the most dependable sources of information for
what is going on in New York City. And his yearly
theme park party lives up to the same high level of
quality. Find out why, and learn some more
about Mark.
Dallas' Flagging Weekend Highlights
This Independence Day Weekend marked the Fifth
Annual Flaggers' Conference, organized by an
eleven-man committee plus dozens of volunteers
in Dallas. This year’s conference brought more than
70 participants from all over the United States and
Canada.
